Hello I will help you with your question, If the tank is leaking then it will need to be replaced but like a doctor I would get a secod diagnosis at a certified independent shop that has a smoke machine to verify the leak is from the tank. Please let m eknow what I can do to help Thank you

The Chrysler dealership charged $150 for the initial diagnosis but could not find the leak then a more detailed diagnosis for $375 to say its the gas tank. I have never noticed any gas leak or smell of gas or having to fill the gas up sooner than usual. Very skeptical of this diagnosis but its too expensive for a 2nd opinion

The code is for a very small leak, could be a hose on top of the tank or the part mounted in the tank, a smoke test will tell but I doubt you got that at the dealer. An independent with a smoke machine that knows how to use it will find the leak and let you know if it is just a hose connection or if the tank needs to be replaced. Often the mounting plastic for the pump cracks but without dropping the tank you don't know. Maybe you need the tank or maybe you need the pump module. It has to be checked to let you pass the test. I know this is expensive, it runs about $100 an hor for diagnosis but to find the problem it has to be done. Let me know what I can do to help you with this Thank you
